Common Questions and Answers about Methadone in urine

methadose

Avatar m tn m not sure on this one but I would definately get something in writing from your methadone clinic stating that you are a patient of theirs in a legal program, just in case.
Avatar m tn Don't worry about the silly test. If it's a urine test the medications will show up in your urine, especially the methadone. It has a very long half life. Please reconsider the way you are taking your medication and be honest with your self and the doctors. You will be much better off in the short and long run. good luck.

Avatar f tn Please help me find a doctor in Massachusetts that writes for methadone for my chronic pain and Ms my Dr was killed last year and now I had to go to methadone clinic and I have to go to work and can't keep doing meetings and standing in line for a dose but I'm in excruciating pain all day and night I can't sleep most nights I cry myself to sleep almost 90% of time
Avatar n tn Hi! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I, too, live in MA & an 3.5 + mos. clean off Methadone/Subutex. I'm familiar with both drugs. Suboxone is listed as a Category C drug (adverse effects in lab animals.) Methadone is considered safe for pregnancy. Since you are already on it, your OBGYN might want to switch you to Subutex w/o the Nalaxone in it.

Avatar n tn if methadone has no long term side effects then why about a week after i came off methadone did i urinate blood every time i passed urine for about 24 to36 hours then things cleared up
Avatar n tn do we have ANY rights here? DO people ON Methadone Maintenance of Suboxone HAVE any rights with regards to how we are treated and if we have put together all these years of compliance with not just urine screens but groups, counseling attendance (ALL SPOTLESS!) and behavioral issues, etc why can't we get ONE benefit of the doubt?
Avatar m tn On April 7th, my father had a monthly appointment, during which a urine analysis was performed. The nurse claimed that he had no traces of methadone in his system, which made no sense to me, since I help him keep up with his pills.
Avatar n tn i was urine tested several weeks ago and passed then they came back and said i had eddp-ms in my urine which is methadone metabolites but i havent taken metadone i am however on several medications for bi-polar dissorder and was wondering what if anything would cause me to test positive for the metabolites but not the methadone
Avatar f tn i take 300 mg a day for various pain. now, 3 times my urine has shown methadone in it. i have never taken any methadone. telling a meth clinic this and swearing on my life holds no water if you know what i mean. has this ever happened to anyone and if so what could cause this?
Avatar f tn i have been told several stories concerning whether klonipin will give a positive result in a urine benzo test. i am going to be tested randomly and am taking klonipin, having switched from xanax, and was told that the klonipin would not show up in the test for benzos. i need medication for anxiety and am currently undergoing daily methadone maintanence and am not supposed to have benzos in my system.
Avatar m tn You have hepC? I don't think that would mess up a urine test. Insist on another one. Labs aren't perfect. My hubby had HCV for 40 years. His developed into Primary Liver Cancer. Got a liver transplant and did the old TX of Interferon. Relapsed. Did Harvoni 2 years ago and he's cured. He had MANY blood and urine tests. He took a LOT of pain meds. Nothing weird ever showed up.I'm pretty sure HCV doesn't even show up in a urine test!
Avatar n tn The clinic took all my take homes because they said if I was taking my methadone the metabolite would show up. I have never in the 6yrs in the clinic, ever missed a single dose. How is this possible? Please help me because I deserve my take homes.
Avatar f tn What kind of test did they do? Did they dip in the urine or send it out? I see this happening all the time. One person on here put a Journal up describing all the OTC things and some foods that can come up showing drugs that we did not take. BTW I am almost 3 and a half yrs clean off of a 12 yr ride on Methadone. I had some of those test done in the office for other reasons and one came up as POT!! Right, my pot days where way back in the 60s-70s..
Avatar f tn Hi,the only tell tale signs is when he does his urin-test at the methadone clinic.diazepines are dangerous when mixed with methadone,as a person can develope respiratory problems and go-under.If you have concerns ask to accompany him to the clinic and sit in on the results of his urine-test. They test a patients urine every time the dr. issues a neww RX.If he agree that theres no problem with confidentiality the dr. will advise you on his progress.
Avatar m tn t take long at all for methadone to show up in your urine...most meds taken in pill form are dissolved within 45 minutes, so I would think it would show up by then if not even sooner. It's too bad that so many people misuse/sell medications and then try to scam doctors...legit pain mgt patients are the ones who usually pay the price.
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum..I was in a methadone clinic here in Michigan...we were allowed to take pretty much anything if we had a rx for it..That is unfortunate that they don;t allow that..i am sorry..does your friend that gave you the "sample" take methadone? they tested for it at the clinic i was at to make sure it was in fact in your system..you need to really makes sure it is the right temp...I understand how bad it sux to not have take homes..Do you get a week?
Avatar n tn if i was to take the promethazine and my oxycodone isnt it possible that the meth in promethazine and the done on oxycodone could show up as methadone, it has to because i have never taken methadone in my life.
Avatar n tn If a GC-MS method was used (gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry) to detect the quantity of methadone metabolite in urine then any levels above 300ng/mL indicate methadone abuse. The results also depend on the dose and timing of the test. So, if you have been prescribed six 15mg tab per day by your doctor, it can be taken as a normal result. However, if you are not prescribed this dose by your doctor, then the result will be considered suspicious of overdosing. Please discuss with your doctor.
